for the city postofiice, while Presi-
dent Cleveland has been President,
and was not successful, the Republi-
can paper need not shed any tears,
or charge it against President Cleve-
land. The ex-soldier referred to by
the Pioneer, is the proprietor of the
ARGUS, and whatever effort was made
by his friends in his behalf for the
position, was made, we believe, first,
because he was an American citizen
second, because his supporters be-
lieved he was capable for the Office,
and, third, because he was Demo-
crat. His record as n union soldier
had nothing to do with the postoffice
position, and ought not to have.
As fact the said ex-soldier did
not apply for the position. His name
was presented by some of his friends,
without his knowledge, as compro-
mise, and the friends of the success
full candidate happened to have more
influence with Congressman Fisher.
The Pioneer knew these facts and
yet il bowls about it as another in
stance as showing President Cleve-
lands hostility to union soldiers.
Mr.. Pioneer, don't give us any
more such political rubbish.
AS regards the Pioneers assertion
that all the political carpet baggers
who infested the south for many
years were union soldiers, all we have
to say is that we regard it as Pho
neer fish story, and refuse to swallow

The Pioneer states that two eX-
soldiers, one in the city and one in a
township, tried to get positions as
postmasters, and the Republican or
gan intimates they were unsuccessful
because President Cleveland is so
hostile TO ex-soldiers, and then the
Pioneer proudly deiics us to show any
such terrible deeds committed by a
Republican President. We'll, if our
memory serves us right, there was F.
5. Goodrich, Il stalwart Republican
of the most pronounced type, but a
very good and much esteemed citi-
zen, and who moved to Florida few
years ago. Mr.. Goodrich was union
soldier and a good one. He was in
many battles and did much actual
service. He was one Of the fighting
soldiers. Mr.. Goodrich applied for
the position of postmaster Of the
postofIico in this city, when a Repub-
llcan President was in power, and
had the power of appointing the
postmaster. Mr.. Goodrich was not
appointed. The Republican admin
istration ignored his claims. If they
loved the soldier so much, why did
they not make him postmaster in
1881, instead Of giving The position
TO a Republican who was not in the
army The Republican papers b.
the Republican politicians croco-
die love for the soldiers vote, just
previous TO an election, is immense.

MAGNOLIA, MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY, MARCH H. 1887

The army of the great
Cromwell always marched to COM
bat to the singing of psalms, and
it is said scattered the opposing
Royalists before it, 'like chat be-
fore the wind"
What more powerfully affects
mans mind and passions than
the solemn throbbing of the or
gan? While listening to the sub
lime harmony his soul is waited
far from the petty trials and
troubles of this earthly life, and
is borne heavenward on strains of
dlylnest melody.
When the tide of life is ebbing,
when the supreme moment is ap-
proaching, what is the christian $
highest aspiration? "Oh sing to
me of Heaven. He wants sweet
music to charm him last on earth,
and greet him first in Paradise.
But best of all, is that we shall
strike our golden hatp in the city
of the New Jerusalem for all
eternity. There is no account of
eloquence or oratory there, 1t is
all of angels who are singing
praise to God forever and aye.
And now, while l freely admit
that oratory conyinces and some
times captiyates multitudes when
dispensed from The rostrum or
sacred desk, yet music is ever in
voked to complete the work that
eloquence has begun, and, like
the furnace, fuses the molten
mass and carries all before it as
the rushing of a raging torrent.
To quote the language Of one
of my fellow students show en-
nobling is the influence Of music,
calling forth lofty thoughts and
aspirations. Sacred music draws
us nearer to God; grand music
stirs our ambition and makes Ii.
aim always higher; sad music
softens and soothes us; cheerful
music brightens our wit; gay
music is irresistible. {"
Music is boundlcss in its in
tiuence, its very spirit is apparent

ESSAY ON MAN.

MIR. EDIToR;-NIan that is born
Of women, is small potatoes, and
few in a hill. He goeth forth in
the morning warbling like lark,
and is knocked out in one round
and two seconds. He visiteth
his best girl, and has his store
clothes ruined by her father dog.
He marrieth a red headed heiress,
with a wart on her nose, and the
next week her parental ancestor
goeth under with few assets and
great liabilities, and cometh home
to live with his beloved son-in-
law. He buyeth a watch dog, and
when he cometh home from his
best girls house, the dog treeth
him, and sitteth beneath him till
rosy morn. In the midst of life
he is in debt, and the tax col
lector pursueth him wherever he
goeth. He layeth up riches in the
bank, and the president specu-
lateth in margins and then goeth
to Canada for his health, and at
last the sexton gathereth him in,
and his estate goeth to his wife S
second husband; and my advice
to all young men is marry soon,
and if you make a hit, don't brag
about it, and don't tell The old
man.
If the heart of a man is depressed
with cares,
The mist is dispelled when a
woman appears.

there has not been one hyper

the most difficult social duty that
a woman could attempt, and that
she is the youngest mistress that

good heart, i is not speaking too
strongly to say that her success
has been really wonderful.
